I've been relatively disappointed with this season so far. Maybe the ending of this episode sets up a good final few shows. I don't get why they're stretching the shows to 75 or 90 minutes every week though. It would be better to pack things in to an hour. I mean, really, what was the point of the Clay/Gemma thing? Things like that make me think Sutter is doing it just to say how edgy the show is.

I am kind of getting tired of the long episodes... that was a trend that seemed to start last season and now every episode is 90 minutes it seems. The main thing I hate about that is that it means losing a half hour of sleep if I want to watch the episode live. Also, if the episodes were shorter, they could cut out crap like the guardianship. I keep hoping it will lead to something other than painful breaks from the main story line, but so far, no dice.

I had said earlier that I could see something crazy happening like Gemma dying soon, but the more I think about it, I think she will be in it for the long haul. If I remember correctly, Jax doesn't know the extent of her involvement in his father's death (which is why she had those letters destroyed a few seasons back because they hinted at JT's thoughts that she wanted him dead). IMO, one of the major things that will happen as this show culminates will be Jax finding out about Gemma's involvement in his father's death and the fallout from that.

Switching gears a little bit to Clay...We all know that Clay never wanted to get out of guns, but did they ever explain why (I don't remember this being explained)? Every since Clay got booted from the club, went to jail, etc, he has become a pretty sad character (a far fall from the Clay Morrow of the earlier seasons). Perhaps Clay never wanted out of guns because he knew that it would be suicide for the club because of the power of the IRA. As much as I used to hate Clay, I feel sorry for the character now, and it seems to me that Sutter is setting him up to be this total sympathetic character at the end (lost his club, his wife, his "son", all while he was looking out for the best interest of SAMCRO).

I'm assuming they're drawing this out for drama purposes, but Turic's been dead for awhile now and no one has found the murder scene in his motel room? I highly doubt that he was able to make that all "just go away"...

That might have been the best episode ever imo. Happy to see Bobby back and no way Tara or Wendy makes it through the season. Jemma will be responsible either way. Is Tara really pregnant?? My brother says she is faking to get out of charming. Did that really go over my head?

As far as the DA, yeah she's wants justice, but she's also coming hard at Nero when everything points to him being clean in this murder. And with her pulling off the wig last episode, I having a feeling it's about to get real up in here.
